To avoid injury, the robusticity of an athlete needs to be considered as training programs are designed. Athletes with slender bones were not easily identified by anthropometric or muscle strength variables. https://t.co/DZffBMB6QN @KRGcsueb @CalStateEastBay @csrcsueb

Athletes with slender bones (area divided by length) may therefore be at a higher risk for fracture under extreme loading events but also yield benefits to some athletes (swimmers) due to their lower bone mass. https://t.co/DZffBMB6QN @KRGcsueb @CalStateEastBay @csrcsueb

Athletes may tend to have stronger bones when viewed as a group but when analyzed as individuals bone strength was found to be dependent on robusticity. https://t.co/DZffBMB6QN @KRGcsueb @CalStateEastBay @csrcsueb
